The only reason we're still using Revolution is because that's what the vet started Bella on when she was a puppy, and she tolerates it well. Also, it treats for a variety of pests including heartworm, ear mites, fleas, and dog ticks. Not all varieties of ticks, though.
Oh, nice. Two hours is more do-able.

I don't know why but I've never been comfortable with the all-in-one treatments for heartworm, fleas, ticks, etc.

I just prefer to treat with separate medications. We usually do Heartguard on the 15th of the month and when needed flea and tick meds on the 1st of the month to spread them out a bit.
